Hi everyone, I just got a Quantum 10 Gig drive and because my bios only sees it as eight meg I need to use a drive manager program to correct it.

Should I be worried about this? Everything seems to be working ok but i don't want things to stuff up later on.
Yes you should be worried. It looks like you used M$ to fdisk your drive and your partitions are overlapping. I had this happen once on 2 partitions and it wreaked havoc on the files that got stuck there. I would strongly suggest re-partitioning the drive with M$ for it's stuff and then YAST for Linux stuff. -- Bob F EMail FBob@wt.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
